The two Marion County teens are charged with attempted murder after investigators said Pedro Solis slashed the mother's throat and threatened to do the same to the girl's father.

The two are accused of luring the woman into the garage of her Ocala home, where Solis allegedly sliced her throat. Solis then went after her father who uses a wheelchair to get around, officials said.

However, deputies said the father pleaded with Solis and convinced him to not only change his mind but to drive them to the hospital.

"He asked her not to sue him," said Marion County Sheriff's Office spokesman Judge Cochran. "So you get the impression that because he was 15 he did not realize how serious this is."

The woman was rushed to an Ocala trauma center for emergency surgery.

Investigators said the girl's parents had forbidden their daughter from dating Solis, and early in the morning on March 9, the girl woke her mother and told her she heard noises in the garage.

When the woman opened the garage door, Solis confronted her.

According to the arrest affidavit, the boy "cut her throat with a knife he had in his right hand." She then "put direct pressure on the wound due to her losing a lot of blood."

The boy then allegedly went into the master bedroom, to go after the father, where the murder plot unraveled.

The 13-year-old girl was shackled and handcuffed while in court because authorities said she tried to escape from custody Tuesday morning as she was transported to court. The state could still decide to charge her as an adult.

Solis will appear in court as an adult on Wednesday.

Families of both Solis and the girl were in court. The girl's mother had her neck covered with a scarf.

The two teens have been held in Ocala juvenile detention since the alleged attack.
